Search Chief Justice of India asks whether rape accused would marry the alleged victim Bench grants interim protection of four weeks from arrest so that he can seek regular bail
Chief Justice of India S.A. Bobde on Monday asked Mohit Subhash Chavan, a rape accused: “Will you marry her?”
Chavan’s counsel said he would seek instructions from the petitioner and sought an interlude.
“You should have thought before seducing and raping the young girl. You knew you are a government servant…. We are not forcing you to marry. Let us know if you will. Otherwise, you will say we are forcing you to marry her,” the bench said and briefly adjourned the matter.
